Georgia Drought Conditions & What It Means For You

“What is a Level 2 drought?”

Currently, many parts of Georgia have not seen any rainfall since early September.

Almost 25% of the state is now under an exceptional drought, which is the highest level, and more than 52% is in an extreme drought.

A Level 2 drought limits outdoor watering to two days a week on an odd-even schedule. Even-numbered addresses may water Wednesdays and Saturdays (4 p.m. to 10 a.m.). Odd-numbered addresses may water Thursdays and Sundays (4 p.m. to 10 a.m.). No water is allowed to be used for outdoor fountains, car washes or power washing of homes.
